You have to go to dealership with proof of ownership and they can cut you a key with the right resistance. There are 16 different resistor keys these use. Be prepared to shell out $40 - $50 for key.

I actually count 15 VATS values:

• 402 ohms (acceptable range 386-438)
• 523 ohms (acceptable range 502-564)
• 681 ohms (acceptable range 650-728)
• 887 ohms (acceptable range 850-942)
• 1130 ohms (acceptable range 1085-1195)
• 1470 ohms (acceptable range 1411-1549)
• 1870 ohms (acceptable range 1795-1965)
• 2370 ohms (acceptable range 2275-2485)
• 3010 ohms (acceptable range 2890-3150)
• 3740 ohms (acceptable range 3590-3910)
• 4750 ohms (acceptable range 4560-4960)
• 6040 ohms (acceptable range 5798-6302)
• 7500 ohms (acceptable range 7200-7820)
• 9530 ohms (acceptable range 9149-9931)
• 11800 ohms (acceptable range 11328-12292)

You could also run through the list, one by one, until the car starts. First, go a local shop that installs remote car starters. Ask them for an unused VATS pack. These packs are included in the hardware of many remote starters. If the unit is installed in a vehicle that is not equipped with VATS, then the resistors go unused. In the pack is one resistor for each of the VATS values. Grab some test leads with aligator clips and run throuth them all until it starts. Keep in mind that when the module sees an incorrect resistance, there is a 3 minute time-out (sometimes it seems like 5 minutes) where the Security light will be on steady and the car will not start even with a correct value. This means that it could take an hour or so to find the right one.

Once the correct value is known, you have your choice to either premanently bypass the VATS by soldering the resistor in or get the correct key cut.

Here's some more info to add to what randman said: there is a new option available with that Locksmith pack. It sounds pretty cool. Hope this all helps.
